"Earl, we've arrived at the royal palace!"
Alerted by the guard, Hudson poked his head out of the carriage, only to be dumbfounded at the scene.
Crown Prince Caesar himself had come to welcome him!
It should be noted that he and the prince were not acquainted, and their short previous interaction had ended on a sour note. Now acting so enthusiastic, it didn't seem right no matter how he looked at it.
To give a courteous reception is often a prelude to asking a favor.
After some brief pleasantries, Hudson immediately sensed something was amiss. Crown Prince Caesar seemed a bit too eager.
It was as though a significant event had occurred, and immediate support was needed. Even he, a noble who had been involved in previous verbal conflicts, had become a target for persuasion.
Being the son of the king and serving as the bond that connects the Moxi Duchy through marriage, Crown Prince Caesar's position was virtually unassailable.
